Won off this mark at Thurles last November (2m, soft); had a sharpener on the Flat at Clonmel earlier this month, his second run back from a 105 day break; could improve on his recent hurdling form now back on soft ground and is worth a market check. |

2nd Sep 2024 Soft To Heavy 1m 4f 17y |
10st 1lb |
Dual-purpose; 1-7 on the Flat; won over hurdles at Ballinrobe in May; below par on last Flat run at Fairyhouse; his flat win came off 64 at Down Royal (1m5f, good) and is 15lb higher here; handles testing ground but may need some respite from the handicapper. |

Consistency rewarded with a defeat of 15 rivals over 2m at Ballinrobe in May but after looking threatening to a point he faded into a remote fourth at Sligo (2m1f, good to yielding); remains on the same career-high mark. |
